Called on Scott @ Cannon Preservation Ltd to look at a damp issue, he visited today on time, gave me some great advice and made it clear as a single mother I didn’t need to pay for any works.
Externally I had a loose downpipe, and the water had been spilling onto the external brickwork causing some damp at the bottom of the wall.
He repaired the downpipe with mastic to the joint, and replaced two of the brackets that hold the pipe.
No charge, and I’m very happy.

Damp-roof coursing, specialist plastering, remove/renew skirting boards and remove/refit radiator. Needing damp proofing done to my son’s house in Bury St Edmunds, when we live in Aberdeen, became not a problem as Scott (cannon preservation) was open, accurate, timely and tidy. Everything was explained in detail, all work was started and completed on time and the unavoidable mass of dust was minimized and cleaned up efficiently. There were no hidden charges. He is very easy to work with and was pleasant throughout. Both him and his plasterer sub-contractor did highly professional jobs. Highly recommend.
